Appel à communication MEA2012 More Electric Aircraft

The new generation of wide-body aircraft, as well as the recently 24h autonomy demonstrated solar cell powered proof-of-concept, share a highly sophisticated electric power management, together with an increased number of all electric actuators. High power efficiency of generators, control devices and actuators as well as real-time power balancing with respect to the requirements, directly contribute to reduction of fuel consumption, and therefore pave the way to the green aircraft concepts. But increased potential sensitivity to electromagnetic compatibility hazards has to be accounted for, and even more since composite structure is expected to spread out at the same time.
